Prenatal Yoga

With yoga to help you,your birth can be a gentler and more beautiful experience.Evidence suggests that babies born this way are more alert,healthier,and their mothers recover from childbirth far more quickly.

Most of the asanas taught during our classes help the mother during labour and birthing-women gain the confidence to move freely and spontaneously during labour.

The deep breathing that is taught provides the mother with the mental strengh and focus required, not to mention the increase in oxygen levels to the mother and baby.Pranayama plays a vital role in providing strengh from within to the mother and baby-it also increases the levels of endorphins in the body which are the natural feel good pain inhibitors!

At Omkaar we touch upon nutritional requirement prenatal  and post delivery.Breast feeding is also discussed at length as this is totally unchartered waters for first time mom,s.The importance of the birth partner cannot be undermined which is also explained at length.-One has to keep in focus that the mother is all important ,so the classes taught here are designed keeping her needs in mind.

      

A saying which i had read which i felt depicts the journey to motherhood so beautifully-

'Breathe-help me as the next generation carves a pathway from my body

Breathe-in this space between worlds i link my life and yours

  

Breathe-each physical exertion pushes you towards my arms

Breathe-in vigour and action"
